Official Lara Croft Phia Cosplay at the unveiling event in Seattle.

On Monday night, a new Tomb Raider escape experience entitled "Escape from the Temple of Fire" was unveiled in Seattle. From the team at Hourglass Attractions LLC, who brought the award winning "Evil Dead 2" and "Arkham Horror: Mystery at Innsmouth" escape rooms to life, the brand new adventure will be built on the city's waterfront.

The original London attraction from Little Lion Entertainment Ltd. opened in April 2022 and ran until December 2023. Inspired by the rebooted Tomb Raider universe, it featured the voice talent of Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft, Earl Baylon as Jonah Maiava, as well as live actors working with participants.

The Seattle experience, on the other hand, seems to have taken inspiration from the original games.

You will venture into a temple beneath an erupting volcano as you help Lara keep a powerful artefact out of the hands of Natla Technologies. Sound familiar?

It's yet to be revealed who the voice of Lara will be for the attraction but the newly appointed Official Lara Croft Cosplay Ambassador, Phia Cosplay, was at the unveiling to greet attendees.

Happy New Year, raiders! It's been an exciting year so far with the release of "Tomb Raider I II III: Remastered"!

This last week, the annual community organised "Tomb Raider" event in Derby, birthplace of the franchise, made its first two guest announcements!

There will be talks with two actresses who brought the character of Lara Croft to life.

Alison Carroll, who was the final official live action Lara to promote the franchise from 2008 to 2010, will make her first appearance at the event in October, speaking about her time in the role.

Jonell Elliott, voice actress for the fourth, fifth and sixth games, will also be returning to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her first game "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation".

More announcements to come!

The event will be held on 12th October this year at The Quad cinema in Derby. Tickets are now on sale here!

The first teaser trailer for Netflix’s long awaited Tomb Raider animated series was revealed today in their “DROP01” live Twitch stream.

Titled “Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft”, the series will follow on from the most recent video game “Shadow of the Tomb Raider”.

Headed by Tasha Huo, writer/producer on the show, it is also produced by Legendary Entertainment in association with dj2 Entertainment and franchise owners, Crystal Dynamics.

It has also been picked up for a second season.

As for cast, Hayley Atwell plays the role of Lara Croft, now the seventh English speaking actress to lend her voice to the character, Earl Baylon returns as the much loved Jonah Maiava, Lara’s closest friend in the rebooted franchise. Allen Maldonado voices Zip, Lara’s tech assistant from the older games and Richard Amitage plays a new character named Devereaux.

The series is set to release in 2024.

The news fans have always wanted to hear is out!

Crystal Dynamics have confirmed that they are remastering Tomb Raider I, II and III for all platforms!

I’m told that the idea had been pitched many years prior by Ed Perkins, formerly an employee at Square Enix Mobile and writer/director on “Tomb Raider:Reloaded”, and that work had begun. It was later put on hold.

The remasters will also have the option to switch to the original graphics, untouched and preserved.

They will be available on 14th February 2024 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Steam and Nintendo Switch.

Lara Croft is now available in season five of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II” as part of the creator mode.

The character model wears the new unified outfit that has become a part of the brand across all official collaborations since the opening of “Tomb Raider: The Live Experience” last year.

A teal tank top with a white vest underneath, brown shorts, long brown boots, a brown backpack with a connecting strap across the front, Lara’s jade pendant as seen in the rebooted games, her long hair plaited, black fingerless gloves and last but by no means least, twin pistols adorned with the Croft family crest accompanied with black double leg holsters.

Fans are excited to see this look in high definition and fight enemies with Lara’s signature pistols for the first time in 15 years.

EDIT: Lara Croft voice veteran Keeley Hawes has returned to the role for the seventh time to record all new lines especially for the game!

Lara Croft is now available for a limited time in the online obstacle course game “Fall Guys” as part of the Fame Pass 2 - which costs 600 showbucks. The pass lasts until 18th July 2023.

The game is available for free on PS4, Xbox One, Windows, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Thanks to Crystal Dynamics, we are holding a GIVEAWAY for a Fame Pass 2 code! All you have to do is “like” our Facebook page and share our post publicly! Good luck!

In a recent survey conducted by the team at “Tomb Raider: The Live Experience” (based in Camden, London), Lara Croft was voted as “the most iconic female gaming hero” of all time in the UK with 63% of the votes! In second place was Princess Peach with 34% of the votes and 31% going to Princess Zelda.

Further research showed that 94% of people would rather watch an action film with a female protagonist and with only 6% of the top video games featuring female leads, the nation and the rest of the world are wanting change.

Last week, in celebration of this milestone and the immersive experience’s 1st anniversary, Official Lara Croft Cosplay Ambassador Lili Dîn payed a visit to the Millennium Bridge in London accompanied by six other cosplayers representing some of Lara’s fellow top favourite female characters; Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Daenerys Targaryen, Hermione Granger, Princess Zelda and Princess Peach.
